The presentation provides an overview of the network topology of a hybrid IP-PBX telephony solution. It explains how the Xorcom IP PBX system routes both Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls within an enterprise environment.

The presentation starts by introducing the equipment used in the IP-PBX solution, such as the IP PBX server, VoIP phones, PSTN gateways, and Ethernet switches. The IP PBX server serves as the core of the telephony system, managing all incoming and outgoing calls. The VoIP phones, which are connected to the IP PBX server via the Ethernet switches, allow employees to make and receive calls over the internet.

The presentation then explains how the IP PBX system routes PSTN calls through the PSTN gateways. PSTN gateways are devices that convert PSTN signals into VoIP signals that can be transmitted over the internet. When a user makes a call to a PSTN number, the call is first routed to the PSTN gateway, which then converts the signal and forwards it to the IP PBX server. The IP PBX server then routes the call to the intended recipient, whether it be another PSTN number or a VoIP phone.

Next, the presentation details how the IP PBX system routes VoIP calls within the enterprise environment. VoIP calls are made and received using the VoIP phones connected to the IP PBX server. When a user makes a VoIP call, the call is sent to the IP PBX server, which then routes the call to the intended recipient, whether it be another VoIP phone or a PSTN number.

Overall, the presentation provides a clear and concise explanation of the network topology of a hybrid IP-PBX telephony solution, highlighting the role of the various equipment used and how calls are routed within the enterprise environment.
